Nis'ku is at present ashore on her trailer at Vernon, British Columbia.

$12,000 (Yes that is Canadian Dollars!)

Please note that Donna's 26 foot Eventide sailboat is still available, and she is getting very anxious. The asking price is now $8500, and all offers are welcome. I have inspected the sails, and all are in good order. I have started the motor, and added a good battery, so she is ready to be towed and launched. If there is any interest, or you want updated spec sheets or photos, please respond soonest (before we start advertising again)

Really needs new luff track, it's external and has slight damage., nothing a good D.I.Y.er could not handle. Spreaders are timber, laminated, might need re-gluing one side, again not a difficult task.

This is a complete kit to rig a cutter Eventide 26, got to be a snip at £250. At present in a field in North Essex!

'Meriel' is one of 15 Barcarole class known to have been built. She is Part I registered and has cruised extensively round Britain and in the Mediterranean. She is currently on a Pontoon mooring at Heybridge in Essex.

bought 'Veterata' ten years ago and found water had leaked between the double diagonal mahogany planks deteriorating the timber to a meter above the water line. I spent 5 years replacing the bad timber with cedar using epoxy adhesive. She still needs a lot of work doing to her and really requires somebody with better carpentry skills than me.

As a result I have lost some interest in her but realize she is worth very little commercial value at present. She is a really pretty vessel and probably the last of her design so I am loath to scrap her and have been paying £600 a year storage charges for the last year and a half in the hope that Peter of Wooden Ships would be able to find some interest.

Do you think you can help?

FOR SALE: ??? A GH in Hawaii......... SOLD

Dear Sir, I would like to offer to your Golden Hind enthusiasts an opportunity that I believe would benefit my boat. I have owned a 1967 Golden Hind for about six years and am slowly seeing it go into a state of neglect. I have lost interest in cruising and would much rather have a smaller boat for whipping around the island and not going long distances as I originally intended. The boat has been for sale, but no one is interested in wooden boats and the only people who will take it are definitely the type that would just let it sink. I like this boat and have a great fondness for it. I have not invested very much in it and am not interested in making money on it.

I feel a great obligation to prolong its life. It is very well equipped and does not appear to need a lot of work. Most of the neglect has been cosmetic, though I do see some potential problems if they are not addressed soon. The boat is moored at a public marina located next to a repair yard. If there is anyone interested in obtaining this boat, you should be prepared to spend between $5k and $10k to get it into ship shape.

I am prepared to let it go for free,but I would prefer to get enough funds in exchange to buy a 17' boat on a trailer that I saw being sold for $2,500 (I can probably get it for less). Who ever is interested, I will send as much information as I can to allow you to make an informed decision. I realize that boats are always a risky investment -even if they are free - but I do feel this is still a solid boat and is in need of a caring home. Aloha

David Verbeck

Update August 06. David would like to donate this GH 31 to someone who will sail her!!

GALATEA SOLD

Eventide 26 sail No. 1047

Built in 1969 by a professional engineer resulting in a very sturdy, heavy and stable sea boat, she comes with the original plans. She is rigged as a Bermudan Cutter with a 4 foot plank bowsprit giving an LOA of 30 feet, she has a deep narrow cockpit and is tiller steered. Her hull and decks have been glass fibre sheathed from new. All spars are aluminium and the boom is a roller furling type, standing rigging is stainless steel. She has a long keeled hull with steel bilge plates giving a draught of about 3 feet depending on loading, and is able to take the ground very comfortably, she is ideal for creek crawling.

All halyards were replaced last season with modern Hemp look alike 10mm – to keep traditional feel. Sheets are 2 seasons old.

: Main plough type anchor 10Kg with substantial amount of chain and a second 5Kg both at the bow with separate chain pipes and chain lockers. Manual ratchet type horizontal winch for breaking out and retrieval. Small folding grapnel type for kedging kept in stern locker. Various warps ranging in size and length, more than enough fenders.

Dolphin series II marine two stroke 12HP, gearbox, raw water cooled, wet exhaust system. This is a reliable and quiet engine which requires very little maintenance. Remote stern gland greasing.

A small but adequate cooking area c/w small s/s sink (drained) and hand pump. A gimballed 2 burner spirit/parafin stove (no gas on board). A good amount of storage for essentials to hand but plenty of deep stowage under bunks. Three powder fire extinguishers and fire blanket. Various cooking equipment, pans, utensils, plastic plates/cups copper kettle etc..

sea toilet located between the main and fore cabins, includes small vanity unit drained through hull, mirror.

She comes with a transferable mooring near to the Folly at Whippingham andownership of a floating pontoon.

Why are we selling her – we are hoping to change our lives by buying an old Dutch barge and cruising the waterways of Europe and so we will have little time for sea sailing. She is a well loved and well cared for boat and she needs a new owner to continue to look after her.

For sale, or part share???:SOLD

MG designed 30ft bilge-keeler, a Blue water or creek exploring boat.

MG design, a one off. 'Eirene' 30 ft on deck with bowsprit. Very similar GH. Built of the best Iroko and 1088 ply, and sheathed in rubber in what is now Zimbabwe and taken overland to South Africa a few weeks before the end of the old regime. She was sailed in South African waters for 10 years before being laid up for years ashore. She was fitted out to be sailed back to the UK, but as a result of terrible weather, then the sad death of his wife, the owner eventually shipped her to the UK. She has been ashore for years.

At about 7 tons she is no trailer sailer, but was designed to withstand the worst weather, she has been through dozens of full gales offshore and THREE Hurricanes, unscathed!

She needs fitting out, repainting and updating. Her electrics are minimal and 1970. She has yawl rig, all sails good, inc storm jib. Roller reefing on genoa, (Aires wind-vane self steering to be sold separately), as well as more modern Autohelm 1000, auto pilot, old 1970's, VHF, that could well do with replacing. She also has a fitted radio and tape deck. Tan sail covers and dodgers. Inboard twin Lister air-cooled diesel. Sea toilet in the fore cabin. Galley equipped with Paraffin stove with oven. Sink and large freshwater tanks. Single berth forward with sail bins and wardrobe space and heads. Two berths in saloon and two quarter berths aft.

The Bilge keels are hollow and are the fuel tanks. The stowage, fittings and quality of the woodwork has to be seen to be appreciated. What other boat in the fleet has a proper bonded drinks store!

The companionway was designed for sailing in the Southern Ocean and would be considered difficult by many, but with a little thought a simple sliding hatch could be added and the low doghouse removed.

She would be a fantastic sailing cruiser in any waters, with a little love and work. where else could you get a boat with such history and of similar size with such a well built hull?

The owner would dearly like to see her back afloat and would consider a 50% shared ownership in order to get her back afloat, provided she stayed in the Blackwater area.

This could be a splendid opportunity for someone to own or part own a large capable shoal draft cruiser. Ashore in Bradwell Marina, Essex.

Realistically priced at £6,000 or £3,000 for a half share, in which case the present owner would sponsor the materials for restoration, till she was launched.

This boat has three transatlantic crossings under sail. Original owner died in 1996. Boat was stored (neglected) for seven years. The hull and enginewere restored in 2004 along with all new mainsail, genoa and asymmetric chute. Interior and other systems still need restoration. The boat sails well and is good for cruising/live aboard.

I have a friend who just sold his 1980 GH31 and he told me of quite a few calls from the UK after the boat was sold. I thought that I might start by offering the boat in the UK first.

For sale: SOLD

Redwing is a 24' Eventide traditional wooden sailing boat moored in Portsmouth. She is a very stable and roomy boat for her size with a very sound hull. Although she could be sailed, she would suit someone looking for a restoration project to bring her back to her classic looking condition. She is lying on a swinging mooring in Portsmouth Harbour, which costs £520 a year and can be transferred to the new owner if required, subject to the pro-rata payment for the remainder of the year.

Unfortunately she has been somewhat neglected in recent years so is in need of refitting, some serious cleaning, painting and repairs. There is a fixed outboard Yamaha 9.9hp which is not in working condition. She was fitted as a four berth and I was planning to refit her and have removed all the old internal upholstery below, in readiness. However, due to other commitments, restoration is no longer possible for me and I will be moving to something smaller instead.

She comes with some equipment including flares, 2 anchors and chain, fenders and a stove. I have not examined the sails recently, however, I believe they are usable but uv strips are perished on the 2 jibs.

I am looking for around £1,500 for her, plus mooring. For anyone who is seriously interested in buying Redwing,

Divers waterproof camera case with Fuji camera. SOLD

This is the tiny Fuji camera that many of the pics on this site have been taken with. It fits in my pocket and as such is carried at all times. In a new leather case, (the previous one was looking tatty!), and with all the original manuals, CD, etc. It has a 3x optical zoom and digital zoom. All sorts of fancy features, can shoot video as well.

In addition I have a spare computer docking port, spare battery, a 64 and an 8 meg card as a spare.. (As You can get over 300 pics on the one card I have very rarely used the spare...)

Also included a spare battery and a charger for it, mains or 12v for use on board.

The divers case is good to 120ft or 40 metres. It is as new, has spare seal, is barely any larger than the camera. The camera lives in the case on board... This is the way I get pics when others are hiding their cameras!

I do not think anyone will deny most of the pics I take are good quality. It is a 4 million pixel camera, but amazingly I normally use it on the lowest setting, 1/3 million, for the pics you see here.

Reason for sale, the family have bought me a new waterproof, all singing and dancing camera for my birthday!

Offers around £80.00 for the whole kit! (Camera case alone was over £100.)

Johari is a sound boat, fully equipped for coastal cruising, afloat at Lowestoft in Lake Loathing, in commission and in use.

Ply hull and originally Cascover sheathed, but over the original I have re-sheathed her with 8 oz. Woven cloth and the bottom has been primed and coated with coal tar epoxy ‘Epidac’ 4coats.. new rudder blade fitted. The bilge plates were removed before the re-sheathing, additional internal ballast was fitted to compensate and wooden legs used for drying out.

Original Stuart Turner P66 two stroke twin is still in good form and is fuelled by electric pump via a 10 gallon Stainless tank in stbd cockpit locker.

This old paraffin anchor lamp was old in 1973! Believed either Dutch or German in make. Used for years and still working, it really needs a new internal lamp glass to make it 100% again. Stands about 10 inches to a foot tall. Real proper working boat kit!

With a bit of TLC will be good for another 35 years. (Yes I have moved on to a smaller one.. still paraffin though!)

Eventide 26 'Saoirse'

This Eventide is offered for sale by the Harbour Master of Penarth Quays, Cardiff.

Stuart says he will accept any reasonable offer and will throw in a lift to a trailer for £40.00.

To be fair she is not in a good way and does need a lot of work. She also is odd in as much as she has no inboard but has been fitted with an inboard well for an outboard. There is a very unsuitable Seagull in there at the moment!

Ali mast and boom, hank on foresails and mail on the boom, all in poor condition. she has been roughly fibre glassed on the cabintop and deck apparently, does not bode well, so if you have a lot of time and effort, but little spare cash, give Stuart a call.

British Seagull Curlew 4 hp. Long shaft. Unused.SOLD

This motor was loving built by me from new parts obtained when I cleared the Seagull factory in 1996. Though the crankcase has a 1990 date on it, most of the motors parts are unused, including the block, head, bracket, gearbox, prop, inner and outer exhaust, carb, drive leg, etc etc.. It has only ever been used in the test tank.

I built it to go onto the back of my daughters wedding present, an 18ft Foxcub cruiser. Despite loving my motors she expressed a need for a reverse gear, for the new mooring in Brixham marina they were offered. Thus this Easter, before we launched, I swapped it for a 'different' sort of 4 hp... a Mercury! Wash your mouth out John! (Actually it is a very nice sail power job and does nearly as well as I think the Seagull would have done!). So I have a quite rare Seagull to offer for sale.

Eventide 24 for spares or repair. Sold 'Moonshiner'has been covered on hard standing for 20 years. She has a hole in her starboard hull where I cut back to find the extent of rot. I bought her last year to restore but have now decided to take another boat but ideally like to see someone restore. As far as I know the starboard hull is the only major repair and her topside and cockpit seem to be in good condition. A basic inventory includes; Spruce mast (in dry storage)Boom2x sailsAnchor + chainStuart Turner p66 petrol in running order last year and kept isolated.Watermota reverse prop.Transom hung rudder. Lying at Gillingham on the Medway.

£350 the lot, buyer collects. Will break for spares. All enquiries to Peter Dawson, SOLD

SOLD!!!: All bronze and copper 'keel cooler' assembly.

This purpose made Keel Cooler was fitted to my Eventide 26 and very successfully used for years in conjunction with a Stuart Turner 10hp. Removed when wet exhaust, indirect cooled diesel was fitted. Two lengths of approx 6ft x 1" heavy wall copper tube, with cast bronze end fittings, sufficient to cool a petrol motor of over 12 hp and a diesel of over 15. (diesels are slightly more heat efficient.)

The bronze end castings are fitted with through hull fastenings and the aft end fitted with 2 x 15mm approx supply and return. All you need to add is a plastic header tank with a radiator cap!

Lower or forward end fitted with drain plug. Designed to be filled with antifreeze solution. All you need is a plastic header tank from a car and you have enough to do the job. With it you can run the motor out of water if you need to, on the mud etc. No more mud and sand getting into the waterways of any raw water cooled motor. You simply need either a dry exhaust, suitably lagged, or a small pump to use to cool the exhaust.

Rig:rigged for short-handed sailing, including: lazy jacks and stackpack system for main; roller reefing genoa; self tacking stay sail; all reefing lines and main halyard lead to cockpit; goosewing poles for genoa and staysail

Plywood with cascover sheathing and sadly after purchase rot was found in the hull. However the yacht would make a good project for someone who is capable with their hands (I am not!) and has the time (I do not!)

Lying near Poole Further details available including a copy of the recent survey highlighting the problems. (The recent survey was the second survey as the first survey against which I purchased the vessel did not detect the problems)

I bought 'Five Farthings' 3rd hand in 2002 and spent nearly two years renovating her before sailing her to Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Scilly and London. She is an excellent sea boat and has a full range of cruising sails, including storm jib and trysail.

Five Farthings was built in 1969 of Pitch-Pine planks which were splined, scarfed to length rather than butted and CasCovered (a form of sheathing utilizing nylon fabric and Resorcinol glue) on steamed oak frames on 7' centers. To the best of my knowledge only one plank has been replaced, this was the starboard sheer-plank were it abuts the coach roof, I used a 10' plank of Douglas Fir A1 grade (tight grain, no knots) and used butt-straps to fix to the good parts of the old plank. The forward bulkhead at the foredeck was replaced as it failed at the outboard ends (a universal problem on Maurice Griffiths designs and a consequence of the split sheer line that gives such good headroom.

I checked three keel-bolts and found them not too seriously corroded and judged them to be alright for another 10 years (that would be 4 from now).

The engine was replaced with a brand new Lombardini 903M 28HP and an extra fuel tank fitted to give a total of 150l capacity. I fitted a Newport diesel heater that can make you open the door when it is minus 5C.

I replaced the old bermudan rig with a Falmouth workboat mainsail (these are a large fleet of racing Gaffers in Falmouth and good second hand sails for cruising are always available. The mast is new seated in the original steel tabernacle and built of five planks of Douglas Fir, glued with Resorcinol with an internal wire channel but otherwise solid for strength. The wire rigging and much of the running rigging was replaced at the same time.

The sails are a bit of a mixed bag with red, white and green (no she's not Italian) but provide a well balanced weatherly rig which can be reefed to suit all conditions and are what you might call 'Cruising Grade'. The topsail can be flown above the reefed main, increasing the leading edge length to improve up wind ability in windy weather and is flown on a separate jackstay which also flies the trysail in very strong winds.

The deck is pine tongue and groove, under 10mm marine ply, under polyester resin and glass cloth, it doesn't leak at all even though (perhaps because) it's not traditional. The cooker was new in 2004 and we have several regulators for the differing gas bottles around the British Isles and France....Full Inventory on request..

"Safrel"is a well-built and well-maintained example of this famous type. She was very substantially refitted in 1999/2001, with the addition of much new equipment, including engine, electrics, upholstery, cooker, instruments, and much else, at a cost of about £20,000, plus two years of time and a great deal of thought. Receipts and maintenance schedules are available for all work done in my ownership."Safrel" is a very capable cruising boat, and in all weather conditions she inspires her crew with confidence. She is comfortable to live on, with quality fabric upholstery and over 6 ft headroom. Five good berths in two cabins – one double and three singles. Her long keel and substantial bilge plates enable her to dry out level.

A taller (36 ft) mainmast was fitted in 1991, with new boom, genoa and mainsail, giving improved sailing performance. The mainsail has single-line reefing from the cockpit (2001), the genoa is roller-furling. Two-speed self-tailing Antal chrome sheet winches (2001), two-speed Girdlestone reefing and halyard winches. Both main and mizzen have lazyjacks and zip-up stac-pacs for easy stowage (n.b. - added after the picture was taken).

We do not know when she was built or by whom, but her sail number 473 suggests the 1960s.

Most Seniors have either bilge keels or centre boards, but Lapwing has a fin keel and sails very well indeed. Her keel is made of solid mahogany with a cast lead ballast, and is held on by massive bronze bolts. She is planked in very nice mahogany marine ply over mahogany frames. Her spars are spruce.

Lapwing is part way through a re-fit and will need some work done by a competent carpenter or boat builder: The joint between coachroof and foredeck was not good. Therefore, a deck beam and the tabernacle have been taken off in preparation for re-fixing along with an additional beam (provided) to give increased mast support. There are also some more minor repairs that will need doing.

Price £595 including road trailer.

Removed from Sale: MG Bawley

'Taloa'is a 1950 Thames Bawley built by James Cook at Wivenhoe. She is 25' long, 30' overall including bowsprit and bumpkin. Beam 7' 11", displacement 4.5 tons approx. Draft 3'6".

I have owned the boat for 10 years. In the last 3 years I have not had much time to do much to her. Now looking for a new owner who can give her some love and attention plus a refit as I do not have the time. Mostly cosmetic attention, varnish and paint.

Now out of the water, (Canvey Island) for new rigging, total repaint, keel bolts to be checked.

This boat needs an enthusiastic owner, I just have no time, all the fittings are there, the boat is sound, just need time and patience to bring her back to sailing condition.. I have too many boats!

Withdrawn from sale by Roger Galley to be refurbished! and Sailed!!
Later sold..

Villiers F15 motor, 4 stroke petrol. All parts still available, spares book with motor. Good runner, was a standby genny unused for years. For the last 5 years I have used it only at fitting out time for a few hours a year, just to run power tools. Will run any 240 volt power tools up to and over 1 kw! Kept in case of power cuts at home... last used for 2 hours Christmas 2008 powercuts!

£65.00

Also a second generator, same motor slightly different generator, 'Allam' Make. This one switchable between 110 and 240 volt. output 1.5 KVA. Motor needs valves grinding in or changing. All spares available I'm told. Was generating fine till the valves went.....

No time to sort, thus £20. Good as spares?

launched 1972, sail number 1113.

LOA 26 ft, LWL 23 ft, Beam 8 ft, Draught 2 ft 3ins.

Serenity has had 3 owners from new and is a much-admired, attractive example of Maurice Griffiths’ classic bilge keel design. Over the past two years she has had an extensive re-fit with new sails, new rudder, new navigation and safety equipment and a complete repaint and re-varnish to bring her up to a very smart condition.

Accommodation: main saloon with single berth to port and dinette table arrangement to starboard which converts to a full-length double berth. Fore cabin with 2 full length single berths. Recent "Houdini" fore hatch. Generous sized hanging locker to starboard. There are dry storage areas under all berths (screwed and glued hard chine ply construction means the bilges remain quite dry).

An electric chiller box can be plugged into the 12v battery supply or shore power. Stainless steel sink and draining board to starboard. Ample lockers, bottle rack, cupboards and shelves for storage of food, cooking equipment, and portable items. Marine WC in separate heads to port – pump replaced 2008.

"Dry exhaust" with separate water outlet. 6-gallon fuel tank plus 20 litre jerrycan. N.B. A complete second "spare" engine is also available. This was rebuilt by Fairways Marine about 20 years ago (cost over £1000) and has never run since as the existing engine continues to give trouble-free service. It is stored separately. Original user manual and associated documents available. N.B. Should any problems arise, all Stuart Turner parts are currently available from Marlex Marine, Cambridgeshire who have taken over from Fairways Marine.

Location: Serenity is currently afloat at Brightlingsea, Essex.

Price £3950....... for quick sale.

For Sale: "Taloa" an MG Thames Bawley

A pic of 'Taloa' in her heyday. She does not look like this at the moment!!

She needs a lot of work to bring her back, but a lot has already been done

This is as she is now..... but with a bit of effort....

built 1950 by J Cook Wivenhoe LOA 31 ft

I have owned 'Taloa' since 1998. She was refurbished in 2002. Since then she has been sailing up and down the east coast where she is well known. In the last couple of years she has not been sailed much and I have done little to her due to personal problems. I decided to start a re-fit over the winter months, and she now has new keel bolts, new epoxy sheath deck, re-caulked where necessary. Structurally she is sound. Only a couple of small scarfs topsides, then just paint and varnish and putting back together. Unfortunately, I am going back into hospital so everything has been put on hold again. So I have decided to let her go. If anybody is interested in carrying on with the work and would like to make me an offer for this super classic little boat please get in touch.

She is partially restored with upgraded with
approx 1000lb
ballast keel and new galvanised bilge plates. New laminated skeg,
(needs shaping), includes new s/s prop shaft and fitted bronze stern tube.

The deck has been GRP covered, including the toe
rails and down as far as the main gunwhale position. Finish is workmanlike and
not as cosmetically pleasing as it could be, but with work.. Sliding hatch
and washboards in place. Beneath the main gunwhale all new GRP cloth and epoxy.
New large Perspex fore hatch and all s/s window frames fitted to cabin top and s/s ports to
raised topsides.

Stainless steel pushpit and two aluminum fuel tanks included in the sale.

The boat has been
laid up for about 15 years ashore, covered and regularly visited in a yard near
Itchenor (South of Chichester).

and I have finally decided that she will have to go.

I am selling her
at many thousands of pounds under replacement cost.

Price £8000. ono

SOLD
Myosotis Maurice Griffiths designed ‘Blue Water’ class.

The hull was professionally built in ferro
cement at Burnham by Ferro Cement Marine Services and she was launched in 1976.
The boat is in excellent condition with one careful owner since new. The boat
has been based on the East Coast (originally at Woolverstone on the Orwell) and
is now at Fox’s Marina, Ipswich, Suffolk. The boat has voyaged to the near
continent and as far north as Sweden and Denmark and has also made several
voyages through the French canals and as far South as Italy and Spain.
Reluctantly, she is now up for sale and the family are keen for her to go to a
good home. She is all ready for this seasons sailing.

They can charge at 30 amps and can also stay idle, charged all winter. Cells are ex RAF Aircraft cells, they can be inverted, if you feel the need to loop the loop! Government defence contract quality of course.

They can be 4 x 60 amp to use and 1 set of 10 cells to split up as spares, probably good for the next 10 years.... I have loads of spare link straps and fixings...

I will also throw in a TWC/Adverc alternator controller set for the correct voltage 15.5,for free. Controller removed from 'fiddler's Green', November 09, along with complete wiring loom and full instructions for refitting. Has battery temperature sensor, voltage sensor and alternator connections.

I have used this type of cell for 20 years and am only switching to lead acid as I can no longer get anymore identical spare cells. However I normally only ever replace one duff cell a year, sometimes none, so if your electrical need is for 4 x 60 amp hours, these may well suit you.

Need more AMPS! In addition I have access to similar near new cells, the same physical size but only 40 amp hours, so if you needed more storage than the above and have the room, you could buy more. Each additional 40 amp 12v bank of cells approx £50.. Over 7 sets available.

Eventide 26, Mistress II

To the astute observer, yes it is John, the coordinator, hanging off her
bowsprit! September 5 years or so back enjoying a trip from the Blackwater
to the Crouch aboard her!

Sadly this Eventide has had a survey that has revealed repairs are
needed to part of the deck and raised topsides. She has had attention lavished
on her over the years, with a New Yanmar and new guard rail rigging, however it needs
someone who is willing to get her into the dry and save her... No punches pulled
here, she will need work, but after that you have a great boat with Ali mast,
roller genoa and new motor!

There is rot in the stbd side from the break of the deck forward to about 6 ft
from the bow, with 2 soft spots in the main gunwale and the deck carline.
All repairable with a little effort and time.

The port side has less damage but a 6ft section of raised topsides needs
replacing. Having crawled all over her today I think the rest is sound, so any
restorers out there want to take on this challenge?

Due to monies spent, asking £2,500. or close sensible offers, No jokers!

Sold??: YACHTING MONTHLY SENIOR
Virtually brand new.

YMS 1627.MK 1 VERSION WITH GALVANIZED CENTREPLATE.

A unique opportunity to purchase a near brand new Senior which has been built of
the last few years and is ready to sail. Launched once, briefly.

The hull is of Marine ply on mahogany and is constructed using conventional
fastenings, clenched copper nails and brass screws. Although the boat has been
amateur built, it is to professional/expert standards.

In addition, West system epoxy has been used throughout the build process. The
deck is sheathed with glass cloth applied with west epoxy and the chines are
covered in glass tape. International paint has been used with two pack
polyurethane paint and varnish on the exterior and conventional polyurethane
inside. The outside was primed with epoxy. The deck is finished in non-slip "Interdeck".

The boat comes with a suit of sails consisting of genoa and mainsail. These are
by Rockall and are beautifully made. The main having slab reefing points and the
genoa attaches to a Plastimo roller reefing spar. Gunter rig is used with an
alloy mast, alloy furling spar, Douglas fir boom and gaff. All new standing and
running rigging is employed.

In addition there are cabin seat cushions, a new cockpit tent etc.
The road trailer has been tailor made and is hot dip galvanized. It is fitted
with a winch, rollers, jockey wheel and has a spare wheel.

Everything on the boat has been purchased brand new including all materials,
fastenings and fittings as well as sails etc etc. the only used parts are the
mast gooseneck and mast attachments for the standing rigging, everything else is
new including the sails.

A new canvas overall winter cover . Build cost exceeds £6500. For sale due to
change of plans and purchase of a larger yacht.

June 2008 a further price reduction to a very realistic £ 3,995, however she is in need a a little TLC now.

(If sold through our pages a small donation to the EOG! So please mention where you saw her.)

This boat once owned and so well sailed by our late friend John Perrin. The only check we would advise is on the weight of the ballast, as it possibly had the earlier, 1200lb keel!

SOLD!!!: Complete cutter rig for 26ft
Eventide,

I have for sale a complete kit for someone to
turn a completed hull into a very well equipped sailing boat .

The mast is 32ft in a sturdy ally section, on
a s/s tabernacle, a combined s/s pulpit/bowsprit gives a very powerful rig which
works well with a self tacking staysail and large genoa on Plastimo roller
reefing. Other sails include Slab reefing main, storm jib and trysail all in
tan. All control lines are led back via halyard winch to a bank of jammers.
There are also two sheet winches with brackets (s/s) for mounting on cockpit
sides. All standing and running rigging and chain plates are also available as
well as various turning blocks etc etc.

It would be a wonderful opportunity for
someone in the process of building or renovating an Eventide or even a similar
sized boat but if this doesn't happen then items may have to be sold
individually.

£1250 !!!!!!

Also a 14" x 10" 3 bladed L.H. prop that was
used with a Yanmar YSM12hp single cylinder horizontal. Now a new larger motor
fitted as boat has now been converted for canal cruising in France!

Was
Free To a Good Home! Eventide 26 'Quiet Waters'

sadly now broken up.

Friends of mine in Wiltshire have an Eventide 26(?)
sitting in their yard and would like to find a new owner who is willing to take
her. She is free. She has been in the open for a couple of years, and
needs work on a new fore deck, and starboard bow. Her hull seems sound and she
could be a lovely boat again with some hard graft. Her mast and sails are
available. Even if someone took her for spare parts she would be worth the
transport costs. She sits in the country, outside Calne. This is an urgent
message as, if no-one takes her she will be broken up. Her name is Quiet Waters
and sail number YM 1245.
I do hope you can help, as she is a sweet boat.
Yours sincerely

'Kedidi'

Regrettably, I am forced to abandon the restoration of our extensively sailed
family Eventide, Kedidi, (E1001), built very solidly and

Mast is aluminium with fitted Firdell reflector and stainless steel rigging. In
addition to twin bilge keels, main keel has extra ballast and extends to form
substantial skeg that houses the prop shaft. The original Volvo Penta 7 was
replaced with a Lister Petter 14 in 1989 and has less than 200 hours running
time. Sails are by Cheong Lee of Hong Kong and include main, and 3 foresails.
Other equipment includes S/S pulpit, pushpit and guard rails, Navico wind, log
and depth instruments, Plastimo bulkhead compass and hand-pumping heads, 6kg
Danforth anchor with about 50m of chain, various spars and fittings. Kedidi has
been laid up since 1999 in a dry barn near Huntingdon. Will restore to a very
pretty boat.

SOLD: GH 31 'Gallinula'

I am
nearing completion of the restoration of Golden Hind 31 "Gallinula"

She has
been completely stripped inside and is now virtually as new including bilge
paint and all lockers. The cockpit has also been brought back to new condition
(She has a gorgeous teak after deck and cockpit).

Gallinula has a nearly new engine (300 hours) Beta 29hp with a new loom and
control panel. She also has a nearly new fully battened main with roller ball
cars (the sail is still so stiff it’s impossible to get in the bag. The genoa is
also in good condition with new UV strip. (There is a spare main and spare genoa
which is also in good condition). She also has new lazy jacks (never fitted) and
an over boom cockpit cover. The deck paint is also new October last year. All
new stainless standing and running rigging including all new bottle screws -
never used - the mast was raised to check all fitted (see photo) and lowered
again

The
pulpit and stern rail, stanchions are stainless not galvanised. She also
includes a charcoal burner stove in the main cabin and original oil lamps

She
also has a beautiful cherry and whitewood cabin sole in the forepeak and main
cabin

The bad
bits - There is only one battery and really requires at least doubling up with
isolator switch which unfortunately is beyond my capability and requires
rewiring and new switch panel. I may commission someone to do this if I have
time

The
bits left to do, which I am doing now as quickly as the weather allows are all
niff naff and trivia:

The
chain plates pass through the deck and bolt through onto one of the frames close
to the forward bulkhead. Gallinula is encapsulated ply. The areas that I have
renewed have been epoxied and encapsulated in 200 gram woven matt, but the rest
is cascover I think it was called.

She
comes with log, depth, wind speed and direction, all fenders, ropes, anchor etc.
The cooker is gas with three burner and oven, and electric operated water. She
also has a charcoal hearer and oil lamps.

I will
provide a suitable hard tender. The nameplate confirms she is Hartwell built.

Copy of recent survey available which shows she is sound with some minor task to
be undertaken.

I'm
looking for around £14,000.

further. The outstanding Clipper range of instruments incorporate technically
advanced electronics in an industry standard 110mm square case. Ease of use and
display clarity were top of the design brief. All Clipper instruments have giant
digits and multilevel backlighting. As with all Nasa instruments - they are
excellent value too.

Lone Gull Mk II, "Jubilee Rose"

moulded 1977.

pictures
awaits

MkII Lone Gull, part built, that
was being completed by my Father. Sadly he is no longer able to complete the
project and I would like to sell it. He named her and I think it would be a
fitting tribute for her to keep that name.

'Beachcomber' is a pretty, 18ft long, fast, stable
twin keel sailing cruiser. This is the boat I presented my daughter
on her wedding day. Sadly she is now up for sale, Jenny
has sailed her but due to overseas commitments, she organise treks all over the
world, the boat has been laid up in a dry modern shed now for 2 years in Devon
and it is time for her to part with her. Photos above show her much
as she is now, but were taken in Brixham harbour 3 or 4 years ago.

Roller reefing genoa and mainsail as seen in
picture, both freshly valeted by Lonton and Gray in Burnham on Crouch, Spring
2011. 4 hp Mercury Longshaft 'sail power' with integral and remote
tank, properly winterised and stored in dry.

Also on board, hand held GPS, Nasa Echo sounder on teak swing out bracket, Porta
Potti type loo forward under bunks, portable boarding ladder. Even a copy of
Uffa Fox's book on board. Self draining cockpit, all drains renewed. 2 main
berths that convert to a double, but also has 2 children's berths aft... at a
pinch. With it's large cockpit makes a great day sailer or occasional
weekender.

Boat is on purpose made, heavy duty, 2 wheel trailer
with new tyres and two spare wheels, tyres and wheels new 2 years ago.
Trailer in top condition. Even got a trailer board! You just add your number
plate!!!

Boat lovingly restored and fitted out 6 years ago
to highest standard I could achieve, as it was to be my crew's wedding present!
Hull cleaned back to bare and checked for damage/osmosis then painted with
Toplac on topsides. My daughter has looked after her and
she has given them some fun, but she has to go.

Ashore in Torquay, Devon in locked secure
store. The owner lives in Brixham, Devon, where most of the gear is in store.
Inflatable tender available.

Instant boating, just add water, OK she will need
antifouling too, but there is a can of that on board!

Asking £2,000 or very near offer.

Contact me, dad, here in Essex !

SOLD: Eight brass port hole rings for
fixed ports.

Size....

I also have one Perspex disc as template for
glass and 4 turned wooden backing plates so the 4 in the main cabin can
look tiddly on the inside. Need polishing, but otherwise sound.

Eventide Magog, sadly since these pictures were
taken she was sunk on her mooring in France when the river she was moored on
went into flood. She has since been raised but she has damage to her ply
deck . The hull is double diagonal built and OK. She is
repairable. Sadly Tony the owner is not up to is and offers her free to
anyone willing to come to France with a trailer and tow her away. He has a
motor, which was not in her when she sank, in fact she was bare inside, all the
kit stored ashore.

Even sadder Tony had no takers and the boat eventually had to be broken up.
Sept 2012.

SOLD: Mollymawk of Minehead. Golden Hind 31

(Note. The picture above was taken after we'd just come back in from a month's
cruise this summer. Since then she's been lifted, antifouled, and had her hull
re-polished ready to re-launch.)

Her engine is a Yanmar 2GM20 (2001). Scrupulously maintained and serviced.

She comes with all the usual pieces of cruising kit - including a Norvane
servo-pendulum self steering system and Rutland 513 charger with Marlec control
unit.

We're selling Molly with very mixed feelings. We'll be sad to see her go, but
she's given us the cruising bug and we're off long term - and with two growing
children we're looking for something with an aft cabin they can call their own.

In the time we've owned her Molly has been a delight to own and sail. A real
head turner in the age of Jen/Bav white things, and the tidiest GH 31 we've
seen.

Sheet winches need to be refitted. Deck
has been sheathed. Bowsprit removed, but available.

She has been unused for 2 years
(have bought a bigger boat, and all my attention is being devoted to her!!)

Hope
someone will take on this nice boat as not too much work required to go sailing,
can be motored away....

I
would be happy to get £1,900 for her, willing to listen to offers SOLD

SOLD: Maurice Griffiths "Solani" Class, 'India of Poole'

Description
Classic centreboard Bermudan ketch built entirely
of teak in Mazagon Shipyard (Bombay, India) in 1946. She was first named
Zoraya then Sea Pie and now India of Poole. She has had
7 owners in 53 years - one of them being Maurice Griffiths himself. As a
shipwright I can confirm that structurally she is as sound as a
copper-bottomed boat - which she is. The most important matter to be attended
to for the next owner are the seacock's, which although serviceable really
need replacing AND the 2nd port mizzen chain plate (a new one would be best).
I am in the process of varnishing, oiling and painting the topsides but
weather has not been kind.

Accommodation
Full headroom throughout with a total of seven
berths. Forward cabin separate - double berth. Saloon table (seating 4
comfortably) collapses into a double berth with a single berth opposite -
doubling as a bench. Another double berth over the engine box starboard of the
port companionway is well suited to the more lithe and younger crew.
Fair-sized galley with cooker. Heads amidships with basin emptying into
centerboard case - ingenious! Very pragmatic layout.

Owners comments
I have gone some way to improving living conditions
on India as we are a live aboard. Sadly I never got round to sorting out the
shower - but that's another story....

Many years ago, I had the belaying pin from 'India of Poole' given to me by MG. We made it into a trophy, sadly lost upon the demise of the old assoc. John

SOLD: Senior 'Avocet'

Avocet
is 16 feet x 6 feet beam and was built in the 1970's of marine ply on mahogany
frames, to a good spec. She is regarded as a mini cruiser - 2 berth with
cushions (mattresses). Swing keel, with main sail, working jib and storm
foresail, anchors and fenders, and boarding ladder, plus extras.

Selling
her complete with everything you need to go sailing, including a road trailer.
She is a very stable boat - quite fast with a crew of two. I also have the
original plans if required.

SOLD to a friend and now kept in South
Lincolnshire on her trailer so

with a simple 2-3 hour journey allows us
to cruise on the Norfolk Broads, Blackwater, Soar, Orwell without the 3 day
passages to get there.

As we live in South Lincolnshire, her home waters are the
Wash , Humber and North Norfolk.

Description:- 20 years with present owner, now too old to give her the
attention she deserves. Completed Cross Channel Cruise July 2010.
Bilge Keels and Skeg with Draught of 1m allow drying out away from Marinas.

This vessel is in commission, fully functional and
fully insured. Built in 1963 of beautifully durable pitch pine strip planking,
cascover sheathed below the waterline at build. Fitted with reliable, modern
Beta Marine 13.5 HP diesel, new in 2000. Bermudan cutter rigged with all 3 sails
in very good condition. Has cruised Bristol Channel extensively over last
decade, from Gloucester/Lydney/Sharpness at one end to Ilfracombe/Milford Haven
at the other and numerous harbours, creeks and marinas in between. People often
stop to comment on the prettiness of this character-ful little yacht. Lying
Portishead.

Aluminium mast and wooden boom. 3 sails, all tan, all
made by Jeckells and all in very good condition:

1. 121 sq ft main sail with 2 rows of reefing
points

2. 126 sq ft genoa on roller reefing

3. 70 sq ft staysail on Wykeham Martin furling
gear

Main halyard, topping lift and reefing lines led back
to cockpit.

Accommodation

Accommodation comprises two berths in v-shape in cosy
forecabin. This has one porthole either side and port light in forehatch to
provide plenty of light. A planked bulkhead provides a feeling of separation
from main cabin. In the main cabin there are two further berths; one each side.
At the after end is a galley to port with twin ring and grill gas cooker.
Opposite this, to starboard, it a chart table with stowage for charts and other
paperwork below.

Main hatch and galley needs some work. Paint work ok, but
varnish needs some work.

May 2013, understand sold, new owner
has been spoken to..... awaits confirmation.

SOLD: Karená,
Jeanneau Merry Fisher 8.05 motorboat.

This is an immaculate,
luxurious 27ft Motor cruiser, with all bells and whistles. Brand new
in 2008 and not launched till the end of 2009 and laid up after just two seasons
use, due to new arrival, baby Carter!

Equipped with everything,
I will list as many as I can recall. All spotless, and I mean spotless!
Interior teak work and GRP polished and loved to bits. Double berth forward,
separate heads with shower. Holding tank with pump out. Fitted wardrobe
and storage spaces in forward cabin. Fully lined and curtained.

Dinette converts to two
forward facing passage seats and also to double berth. Very clever.
Storage spaces beneath. Fridge with separate battery. Again fully
curtained.

She was commissioned by my Great
Uncle who sailed her extensively around the UK then across to the Azores and
then to Portugal where he kept her for some years. Sadly ill health has meant he
is no longer able to sail her and so we have been sailing her for the last 3
years and she is currently based in Fowey.

However, work and a young family
[although they absolutely love the her!] mean that I just don’t have the time
required for the ongoing maintenance and upkeep on a boat of this vintage, which
as I am sure you know is fairly demanding.

The result is reluctantly we
have decided to sell her, we have put her on the market at what we feel a very
reasonable price given the size and quality of the Golden Hinds. For
someone with time she would be fantastic boat.

Vessel sold in ‘end of season’ condition, needs
painting and varnishing and gear updating maybe.

'FUNKY FLOATER' is a 26 foot
Eventide auxiliary yacht, sail number YME638, built by Jones and Teague at
Saundersfoot, Pembroke, in 1965, and registered at Grimsby as 'Kinsman'. She is
British Part One registered with official number 304799. Her registered tonnage
is 2.76. Air Vice-Marshal Sir Alan Boxer, her first owner, apparently fitted out
some parts of the saloon and cockpit. She was registered as number 19 in 1966 at
Grimsby. The Certificate of Registry shows that she was sold to Mr. C. J. Stokes
of Shirley, Southampton, in November 1973, and again in January 1974 to Mr. J.
F. W. Perrin, of Westcliff on Sea, Essex, the renown East coast Sailor. Sold on
when John became visually impaired subsequently owned by the man responsible for
the break up of the old assoc and the formation of this group. He did fit
a diesel and maintained her well though.

Custom
built November 1979 by Terry Erskine Yachts, Plymouth. Last insurance survey
refers to it being “a substantially and well built yacht”, in current ownership
and much- loved for the last 14 years.

Lady of Lockerley is a handsome, seaworthy yacht. She was the last of 11 of her
design to be made.

Her design makes her exceptionally sturdy and comfortable as evidenced by her
voyages as far as Russia and Finland, while her shallow keel allows access to
anchorages most boats can’t access. She has been much loved and restored since
we purchased her including a full engine overhaul and new rigging and proved
herself a safe comfortable cruiser. Since our children arrived we have had no
time for her and she is in need of some fairly significant TLC.
Full survey 2012 available on request.

This boat is in very good
condition, the hull has no leaks, the sails are fairly new and the bilge keels
are fabricated in steel. The boat comes complete with a serviceable road
trailer and spare sails.

Maintained
to an incredibly high standard (Editors
comment!). Fitted with full set of
new navigational instruments installed 2010/11 including Garmin 4008 chart
Plotter, Radar, AIS, VHF with DSC.
(virtually unused!) Also fitted wind generator, see centre picture above
taken September 2012.

Kylix Class
a larger 29ft version of a the family cruiser, commissioned by a professor in
1981. Built to Lloyds A1 standard by Bure Marine of iroko planking on oak
frames. She was actually launched in 1990. She carries a Bermudan Cutter rig.
Her design is from Maurice Griffith's portfolio of shoal draught centreboard
cruisers. Draft with board down extends to 6ft 6inchs. A stable sea kindly
vessel.
She has led a very charmed life and is in excellent condition. Her extra 2ft
length from the standard design and 1ft 6ins extra on her beam, makes for a very
roomy interior with a good 6ft headroom

A fine example of this proven well known class of cruising yacht,
from the drawing board of the distinguished Mr. Maurice Griffiths. This Golden
Hind 31 is in exceptionally good condition throughout and has been beautifully
maintained by owners who really know traditional boats. The equipment on board
has been kept up to date and the electronics and navigation equipment has been
renewed during recent years. 'Golden Morn' is a very spacious yacht with good
social accommodation. This yacht contains all the necessary equipment for a
livaboard, or distance cruising. This Golden Hind 31 is substantially built from
plywood on Iroko and Teak. Internal joinery is of mahogany, varnished ply and
also wipe-clean surfaces. The yacht benefits from many layout features resulting
from good engineering and ease of running the boat. This yacht has been well
maintained by it's owners with a comprehensive range of extras specified below.
An impressive 2011 survey is also available!

Timber and ply, 30ft Waterwitch, sloop
rigged. The owner/builder, Doug is swallowing the anchor and is looking
for a new, caring owner for his boat.

She has 4 berths, 2 forward and 2 in the main cabin. There is another
short berth /settee in the saloon to port, that was used as a storage
place for an electric fridge. (may be available to purchaser by agreement
...) Robust, strong, yet attractive, drop leaf
cabin table. Full standing headroom at least 5'9". Decorative, turned
cabin and table support poles as hand holds. Large wardrobe space opposite
heads. Huge storage lockers and shelving areas.

Galley, well equipped, with twin burner Optimist
cooker, oven and grill, pressurised hot water with the added option of heating
via a radiator and fan. A bronze manual pump also fitted. Stainless
sink and drainer. Water storage tank approx 30 gallons.

Garmin GPS plotter, Autohelm log and Echo
sounder, additional Hummingbird fish finder with log. Navtext. All
approx 15 to 20 years old but working. (Though navtext may need attention as it
was reading gobbledegook last I looked!)

Hull painted with 2 pot poly and in excellent
condition, keels wire brushed and primed, just needs antifouling before
launch.

Other equipment includes a
full length rain/sun cover for summer use,

She is being offered at a very realistic sum of
£6,500, with all gear, ready to be safely
sailed away.

There is a small amount of work to be done on her
to alleviate an annoying deck and cabintop leaks.

Doug is keen just to see her go to a good home.
She has taken Doug to the Netherlands, Belgium and France, west as far as Fowey in Cornwall and south to the Channel Isles and also through France to the
Med. She is a robust and sturdy example of the class, extremely well built
and sailed.

She is on the hard at Bradwell, Essex and only
needs a coat of antifouling and can be launched and sailed/motored away.

If you are looking for a ‘go anywhere’ boat, ‘Tiger
Lily’ is for you. Fitted out very professionally by an engineer from an Erskine
GRP hull between 1976 and 1982, she was obviously intended to be self reliant
and independent of the pampered South Coast marina lifestyle. The minimum of
shiny bits, wood or metal, she has a tough, almost working boat feel to her.
Cruised extensively in the Irish Sea and the Channel Islands she will take you
to places fin keelers fear to tread. Priced competitively but open to offers as
I have had to reluctantly swallow the anchor due to health issues. What will
remain will be the memories of those days and nights at the helm heading out for
each season’s new adventures – sob!

Genoa and small jib. Pine whisker pole. Two Harken
16 Genoa winches and handles. Halyard and reefing winches on mast and boom.

Sold: 'Elver' Goosander 23,
junk rigged

An unusual junk rigged derivative of the
Goosander 23'. I have attached photos of her but basically the only difference
to the standard Goosander is the fact that the mast is seated further toward the
bows.

The boat is plywood constructed with a chine hull. Three years ago she underwent
a full strip down and epoxy resin from top to bottom. The hull is copper coated.
She is in good condition but in places the finish could do with some touching
up. The engine is a Vire 7hp inboard two stroke in good condition with a full
rebuild two years ago. All engine bearings and consumables were renewed. The
sail and rigging (no need for standing rigging as junk) is in as new condition.
There is an older spare sail.

I would like to sell the boat as we have now bought another boat. After doing so
much work my main concern is that she goes to a good home so I am not too
concerned about making a lot of money.
£1500 would
make me happy.

The boat is ashore adjacent to Ardoran marine, Argyll & Bute, PA34 4SE. She sits
on a serviceable launching trailer but could not be towed by road.

If possible I would like to let your members know that the boat is for sale. She
is very unusual and extremely pretty, she deserves a good home.

Believed sold, can
anyone confirm???? Yes Andrew has been on, a member of his family has
taken it on, more for the Goosander site page when I get it.

Ceilidhe II has had only 4 owners from new. She has cruised the Mediterranean
extensively, passing through the French canals in both directions. The previous
owner started a refit in preparation for a long cruise but was not able to
realise that ambition. His 2010 survey is available. I acquired Ceilidhe II in
July 2010, sailed her for a couple of seasons and then continued the refit; "Anno
domini" dictates I no longer have the ability to complete the job. She lies
ashore, can be launched and sailed as she is but really needs cosmetic
completion and the fitting of the new toilet and compass, plus a repaint. Priced
to sell, including a 10ft classic style double diagonal dinghy in need of some
restoration, with a serviceable but old road trailer & a Seagull o/b.

"GREBE", YACHTING MONTHLY 3 TONNER.

Built at Wyatts of West Mersea, Essex in 1955 to special order of customer with special modifications designed by Alan Buchanan himself.

Modifications include through cabin with no lower foredeck, raised after coach roof, bulkhead forward of mast position to give two berth separate cabin forward intended for children.

· The engine is a 1gm
YANMAR and has logged less than one hundred and fifty hours running time.

·
The sails mast and rigging came from an earlier eventide which sailed from
Lytham, and consist of aluminium mast, mainsail, genoa, working jib, and
spinnaker all well used but still in decent condition.

· After 10 seasons on
the water the paint work has stood up to its task very well and there is no
corrosion whatsoever on the hull which is as sound as the day she was built.
However a new coat of paint would look nice.

· Because of my age
(now 77 and the reason for selling her) the boat has been fitted out as simply
as possible just for day sailing, so for any serious cruising, further fitting
out would advantageous. However there is absolutely no structural work required,
and she could be sailed now.

· The boat is
currently on winter storage ashore at Beaumaris Anglesey, and is now up for
sale. She has been deliberately left in "End of season condition" to avoid any
interested purchaser thinking that the boat has been "tarted up" to conceal any
problems.

· Offered for sale
for a bargain price of £2,000 to a good home.

Sold or rather Donated....... FREE to a good home. Eventide 24,
ex 'Spirit of Liverpool'
ex 'Shuay Sing'.

I h

ave an EVENTIDE 1957 24FT. Now like me suffering a
bit from old age .Timber built in Singapore ,mostly Teak AND Mahogany with a Ducati inboard engine (in sound condition ). At 85 and registered disabled
I have to reluctantly get rid.

She is in need of restoration as she has some soft rot.
I'm willing to give away free of charge as I no longer whish to pay mooring
fee's .

I will let the first person who can collect, take her.
She' s berthed at Liverpool Marina, but is without road trailer.

‘Athaena’ is in full service, everything works, she is
sailed regularly and ready to undertake any voyage!

'Athaena' was designed for and built in 1979, marine ply on Iroko, by Allan Solly, a
professional cabinet maker and amateur boat builder. She was the
first example (and as far as I’m aware only) of the Athaena class.
However, because of the cooperation between Maurice Griffiths, Allan Solly and
Terry Erskine, she was effectively the "pre production prototype" for the Golden
Hind 26, hence the sail number ‘GH 0’. We are now not sure she actually
has any sail number....

The deck and most of the cockpit are made of teak, the
cabin sides in mahogany and the interior in mahogany or mahogany faced marine
ply. She has the more attractive stepped coach roof. Athaena is rigged as a
cutter sloop with a mast taller than the standard for her class and a 3 foot
fixed plank bowsprit. LOD is 26 feet and LOA with the bowsprit is approximately
30 feet. With her traditional tan sails and extensive woodwork (Treated with
Coelan) she is admired as an attractive boat by all who see her. With standing
room, a fixed galley, fixed chart table, enclosed heads and fully usable v-berth
in the fore cabin, Athaena offers a level accommodation that shames modern boats
of a similar length.

She has recently completed a voyage from Hull to the
Exe during which she proved herself to be an very capable and reliable cruising
yacht.

She is currently in full service and moored on the
River Exe and is available to view. Mooring can be included in the sale price if
required.

Sold: Steel Riptide hull, newly built.
'Ayesha'

32ft STEEL RIPTIDE HULL FOR SALE.

Length on deck, 32ft

Waterline length 26ft

Beam, 9ft 6 inch

Draught 3ft.8inch

She is built as follows,

KEEL BOTTOM, 12mm plate.

KEEL SIDES, 4mm plate,

HULL, 4mm plate to first chine.

TOP SIDES, DECK, AND COACH ROOF, 3mm plate.

FRAMES,
6mm x 50mm flat bar.

CHINES, 18mm solid bar.

She was build using grade 40B mild steel, mig
welded fully inside and out, frames stitch welded to hull. All weld seams below
the water line were dye-pen tested for porosity and any remedial work done,
(there were 2 very small areas which were ground out and re-welded).

She was then grit blasted and immediately coated
with an epoxy based blast primer. The main paint system was then applied which
consisted of 2 coats of epoxy primer, 3 coats of epoxy under coat. She was then
well keyed and top coats applied which were 2 oil based undercoats then 1oil
based gloss top coat, she still requires further oil based finished coats, the
decision to use oil base finish coat is so that it will be much easier to
maintain where ever you are and it does not fade and go chalky in tropical sun
as epoxies do, you can also obtain and apply oil based paint anywhere in the
world.

She is a long keel cruising boat but she also has
the option to have bilge keels fitted if you wanted to keep her on a mooring
that dries.

There is a bowmar deck hatch fitted in the fwd end
of the coach roof, and a traditional custom made opening hatch in the middle of
the coach roof above the saloon area.

There is some of the internal joiner work fitted
but this could easily be removed to give you a blank canvass to create your own
lay out should you wish.

The engine beds are fitted as is the stern tube,
rudder tube and rudder bearings, the rudder is also completed but requires
painting, the steering is made to be via a wheel, and provision is made to fit
an emergency tiller but the steering system could be changed to permanent tiller
if you wished.

The cockpit has yet to be finished and was planned
to be done in timber, but could also be done in steel if wished.

She is sitting in a purpose made cradle that will
come with her.

'Ayesha' was not built to be a gin palace, she was
built to be a strong live-aboard cruising boat that will take you anywhere you
wish, she is the perfect size for a couple wishing to live aboard, and she could
be sailed single handed if needed.

She has not yet had any ballast fitted and as such
only weighs about 2 3/4 tons so you will be able to move her on a large trailer.
I will be in the UK and available to help you move her for 10 days after the
auction has finished, and she would need to be moved in that time as the
property is being sold, I may be able to get the new owners of the property to
extend that time frame for a short period but I will not be here to assist.

Please feel free to contact me to arrange viewing,
which I recommend if you are serious about buying her.

The reason I am selling "Ayesha" is due to me now
living in France and sadly will not be able to finish her.

Offers invited..... Should be worth £5,000
or more.....

I can be contacted on 07739260499

cash payment would be the preferred method of
payment

please contact me if you would like more pics of
the build.

SOLD:- 70 amp Diode splitter.

One 70 amp capacity diode splitter left
now, one sold. Shure Power make. 2 way and used to split the charge between 2 battery banks. Was used in conjunction with alternator controller to keep banks of batteries charged, 300amp hour, using a 35 amp alternator. So not pushed to the limit ever!

Will sell for £10.00.

Used, but in perfect working order, removed from 'Fiddler's Green', replaced with 'X-Split' to suit new 'X-Alt' charge regulator.

Used 'Kestrel 90' alternator controller, with full
instructions. A few years old and not 100% certain that it works, but it
did when it was removed by an electrician from Doug's WW., just because he
did not know how to reconnect it! I have downloaded all the instructions.
A simple device with no frills, but it will get the charge in the batteries and
can be used with a diode splitter.

Can be picked up from
central London or Gloucestershire.
I also have a boxed sailing compass, fully gimballed.

SOLD: Pair of new STAINLESS STEEL
Bilge Keels for Eventide 26

Standard shape and length fore
and aft.. 59 inches, (same fore and aft length as the ones on F.G. )
However depth 18", a couple of inches shorter than mine, (as I deepened the main
keel!) or I would have kept them for the day I needed to replace mine!
(Foot length 34 inches) Made from 8mm thick Stainless.

And yes I did say Stainless
Steel!

These new plates were fitted
to an Eventide but never immersed! Boat was sadly broken up. rotted
from the top down...

packet!

These are a snip at £175.00
for the pair. 10% donation to EOG from sale.

Collected from Essex. (Got both in the back of my Moggy van OK, just!!)

Lone Gull 2

'GOONEY BIRD'

This boat has an amazing history, traditional,
very roomy, comfortable and at times fast. Lots of gear.

Photos show the need for cosmetic work... Can we find
a loving home for this much loved, much travelled craft?

31 footer 'Charisma', building nr. 198.

Built in Plymouth, UK, by Terry Erskine in 1979.

I bought her one year ago in Holland.

Bought her from a Mr. Korthals, who worked before in the
yacht business in the USA, Florida.

He sailed her solo from Miami over the Atlantic Ocean into
the North Sea and Baltic to Scandinavia: Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany.
Then to the Netherlands.

He lived on her for a while here, but then met a lady and
sailed away with her, selling the boat.

When I saw the boat in a declining state, it hurt my heart.
I had a carpenter with me to check the structural construction. "Fine", he
said, but the shining appearance had gone.

So I shipped her by road on a truck to Belgium and gave her
a warm and dry nest in good old Antwerp.

The engine is in the front of the Charisma. It is a Lister
STW. Too rusty to be repaired, the technicians said. The two bilge keels are cut
off. Another specialist job. But I had to spend nearly no money for
restoration of the boat, she needs paint and sweat and of course a new
motor. About 500 to 1000 hours to restore her to her originality. But she is
still strong.

The masts, sails and all the gear, anchors are still in
good shape. But the deck needs two layers of laminated polyester or epoxy and a
finish of poly paint.

I cleaned her inside and stripped all the valuable bits, as
lamps, cushions, Baby Blake toilet etc. Have it all in my cottage, outside
Antwerp, except of course the hull and Lister engine, it is under the roof of
the Royal Yacht Club.

She is now a project with a sound hull, epoxied under
the waterline, no osmosis and no hidden problems.

She is ashore in Antwerp/Belgium at the Royal Yacht
Club, in a protected hangar.

I'm 72 years old and was a sailor and later a Belgian
State river pilot on the Sea Scheldt River for 30 years.

My price is about 2000 English Pounds to sell her. SOLD and now
in the UK being restored!

SOLD (Eventide 24?) 'Sans Elan'

This vessel is currently in commission, moored on a
trot mooring on the river Frome at Wareham, Dorset, The vessel is for sale due
to the owners concern that at 76 he will not be able to continue sailing her
single handed for much longer.

As can be seen from the photographs she is sloop
rigged with a single long keel and transom hung rudder.

Built of 1/2 inch marine ply over a hardwood frame,
she has been sheathed in fibreglass below the waterline and over all the
decking.

She is equipped for channel cruising, having a sea
toilet. Calor Gas oven with grill and two burner hob. navigation and steaming
lights.

Two almost new 12v batteries, fenders, two anchors
[with 100ft chain on main], halliards, sheets etc, warps, and cockpit cover.

The two main bunks and two cockpit seats are fitted
with foam cushions with washable covers.

Included in the sale are a custom built road trailer
and a fibreglass sailing rowing dinghy The owner is happy to arrange a short
cruise in Poole bay, in order to show any prospective purchaser what she is
capable of before purchase if required.

Editors note. I have added a pic of her on a
trailer now and from that I can say she may be similar in general hull shape,
but not like any Eventide I have ever seen. the raked transom and rudder is
totally wrong for an Eventide. Were she double chine she would have been
more like a Goosander 23! Could she be a Yachting World People's boat?

All the above is available for £3,000 or near offer

Please note that the photograph is not a recent one
and that the hull is in need of repainting

Believed SOLD: GOLDEN HIND 31 'Winfarthing'

CUTTER RIGGED OCEAN GOING SLOOP WITH FULL
INVENTORY

Built in 1980 by Terry Erskine. Winfarthing is of GRP hull
construction with timber coachroof and a beautiful wooden interior, finished to
a very high standard. She has an impressive sailing history having visited,
amongst others, the Azores, Spain, France and cruised extensively through the
Irish sea in all weathers.

Winfarthing is a very stable and forgiving sea boat, able
to continue where many other boats would not. She is ideal for nervous beginners
and extended cruising. Regularly sailed single handed, she is very easy for a
couple and can accommodate five people comfortably.

She has a full suit of sails including cruising chute and
storm sails, Lister 20hp engine, fully automated battery management systems,
shore power, radar, chart plotter, GPS, DSC radio, paraffin cooking and heating,
autopilot, many spares and much more to be included in the sale.

The accommodation consists
of a two-berth forward cabin, then going aft a hanging locker to port and an
enclosed heads compartment opposite. The saloon with a single settee to port and
to starboard a dinette arrangement. Aft and to port is the linear galley with
navigation station opposite.

The furniture is constructed from
Iroko/mahogany/teak. The upholstery is covered in a tan/beige leatherette cloth.
The deck head is painted white, the beams varnished; the cabin sides are
varnished mahogany, the hull sides lined with plywood and painted white, the
saloon lined out with lockers.The cabin sole boards are of teak and holly
faced plywood.

6/15. May be sold, now in Preston, can someone confirm, ex owner or new
owner, to save people wasting your time, (seller).

SOLD: 4 man Liferaft.

This is 11 years old and serviced every 3 years, last
serviced 2 years back.

Good till spring 2016 and can be serviced for another 3 years after
that, but would be out of warranty.

Reason for sale, I will be away sailing when it is due to be
serviced so bought another one, identical, but only 2 years old and therefore
does not need servicing till after I hopefully complete my round UK trip.
Good for 10 years to see my sailing days out!

Selling for £125.00 ovno. Collect from Essex or can be
couriered for £25.00 to mainland UK.

This is the tender from Fiddler's Green.
New 1998 and very carefully looked after. No patches no tears, always kept
out of sun, except on long passages, when stowed rolled on deck. (dark
marks on tubes are muddy marks from the grass, they should have been wiped off!)

Has slat floor, so rolls up easily but has good stability when in use.
Large tubes, means dry ride. Very light at 44lb!

Blue nylon storage bag, pump, repair kit, (unused!), painter, Ali and plastic oars, two part and with captive
rowlocks, so they cannot be lost. All in top condition.

Only fault is the two inflatable chambers have leaked internally and are now
one? Means you need only use one of the two valves to inflate it.
Does not leak. The thwart is a separate inflatable part.

I also have a 10' tender and 2hp Yamaha outboard available by separate
negotiation.

Due to my lack of mobility following orthopaedic surgery 'Xercia' has not been
sailed for the last few years. She was built by a local professional engineer
and is extremely sound and well equipped. I am very much an amateur sailor but I
am told she sails extremely well and is very suited to the coastal waters of
Suffolk.

She has been stored on land at Aldeburgh for the past five years and has
obviously suffered from superficial corrosion. She needs tidying up but serious
remedial work would not be needed.

Sold £3500.

SOLD: pair of Motorola radios.

Pair of small working pocket radios,
claimed will transmit and receive up to 1 mile in open countryside or on the

SOLD: Atlantic Clipper 'Existence'

I make no excuses for showing every one of
these great pics of her, Ed.

'Existence' is an Atlantic
clipper prepared by victor and Olga and family over the course of several years
and sailed by them from their home in Serbia across the Mediterranean and then
across the Atlantic. the preparation for this trip can be viewed on
the Restorers pages, click here.

We have just completed a check list for the brokers
here in the West Indies with the most full description of the boat.

The most wonderful thing about her is that she is just
ready to go right now, because we were preparing her for ourselves and did not
yet use even a fraction of her potential. That's why, as we've mentioned, we
don't want to leave her unattended for a long time, because everything that is
new today, will not be that new in some years. She has to sail on!

Amateur built, to professional/expert standard. The hull is of Marine ply on
mahogany and is constructed using conventional fastenings, clenched copper nails
and brass screws. In addition, West system epoxy has been used throughout the
build process. The deck is sheathed with glass cloth applied with west epoxy and
the chines are covered in glass tape. International paint has been used with two
pack polyurethane paint and varnish on the exterior and conventional
polyurethane inside. The outside was primed with epoxy. The deck is finished in
non-slip "Interdeck".

The
boat comes with a suit of sails consisting of genoa and mainsail. These are by
Rockall and are beautifully made. The main having slab reefing points and the
genoa attaches to a Plastimo roller reefing spar. Gunter rig is used with an
alloy mast, alloy furling spar, Douglas fir boom and gaff.

Built in Portsmouth over a number of years in 1950’s
notes of build full set of drawings, potted history plus pictures. (see pics on
Eventiders site) Carvel planking mahogany topsides, and below the waterline on
oak and elm framework, long keel with transom stern mounted rudder; tiller
steering. Stainless steel pulpit, sternrail and stanchions.

The galley is equipped with a techomplex gas
cooker-twin burner and grill Sink with ample stowage and worktop space above.
The boat is well equipped with cutlery and cooking utensils.

This boat was built for river and near shore
cruising and has ventured further afield (Isles of Scilly) with various owners
her steel centreplate makes her ideal for creek crawling. Additional pics can
be sent on request.

For Sale: Golden Hind 39.

This boat is for sale on Boat
shed and we have been asked to advertise it. She is believed to be the 7th
built. Built 1980. 5 berth Steel built go anywhere boat! She has a
long keel but the ability to safely dry out as fitted with bilge keels.

According to the record books there were only ever 6 of
these Golden Hind 39's ever made. We are now in a position to be able to offer
for sale hull No7.

Ready to launch in 1987, a change of circumstances forced
the project to be mothballed and it has stayed in store ever since. So, what we
have here is, in effect, a "brand new" 30 year old boat.

There is still some fitting out to be completed but most of
the component parts required are included in the sale.

This really is a tremendous opportunity for someone to buy one of these
well-respected blue water cruisers for a very reasonable price and in a not too
lengthy time frame be ready to set sail.

240v sockets.

She is probably the
most attractive and well equipped GH31 built and draws lots of praise from both
the sailing and non sailing fraternity. I am the third owner and have owned her
for 7 years. Like the two previous owners I have maintained and kept her in
first class condition as can be seen from the photographs. A much more detailed
description and many more photos can be emailed to interested parties.

Built in 1975 by L T Appleton of strip planked Iroko
on Oak, she is currently mid-way through a minor interior refit and will need a
small amount of work to get her on the water this season. However she
is basically sound, has a great exterior paint job, is very well equipped and
is surprisingly fast and well balanced under sail.

We are regrettably selling, as
family commitments leave little time for enjoying this fantastic little yacht.

Currently ashore at Martlesham creek boatyard near
Woodbridge.

For Sale: Steel Riptide, project boat.

33ft Riptide (has been built
with counter stern, Noontide?) Project for sale

Hull is 90% complete needing the cockpit constructing a small amount of welding
and some snagging on frames, It is constructed from 10mm plate for keel bottom,
6mm keel sides, 4mm hull and 3 mm cabin sides it has main bulk head fitted and
engine bed and has a Thorneycroft engine fitted with Henry Meadows gear box also
has stern tube, prop and prop shaft all correctly calculated for size of boat.

Although my father and I were
not boat builders, I am a time served Fabricator welder the boat it built to a
good standard and is very fair.

It has a slightly raised cabin to allow for greater head room when fitted out it
also features a lovely curved transom which I think sets it aside from similar
builds, it does have its sail number and plans with it also.

The not so good bit is that it is rusty after being stood outside under cover
for some time however the majority is still only surface rust and does have the
advantage of removing any mill scale the inside still has mill scale on the
plates

I am asking for offers over £3000.

: Golden Hind 28'6" 'Pink Gin'.

Pink Gin for sale. I now live abroad and cannot
devote the time. It is number 7 built by Hartwell's. It now has an outboard 8hp
2stroke motor. The old Swedish Olin inboard motor is still in place, but needs
work or replacement.

Work is needed on the starboard hull to cut
out wood rot. Probably only carpentry skills required.. I treated the rot with
ethylene glycol and glassed over it so it is benign. It needs painting. Will
suit someone who has the time and skills.

I need to sell her, unfortunately. With a bit
of work she'll be valuable.

The photo is of the glassed side. The
boat is in Emsworth on Chichester harbour.
The bare wood of the repair is the "before", the painted wood is the " after"

SOLD: Senior 'Moth'
Sail number 1041.

This is Moth as she is now...

And this is her a few years back...

The boat is in need of some TLC, with a few panels needing
replacing. The mast also needs re-gluing and refitting. Other than that, she is
the Bermuda-rigged Senior, with roller-furling forestay, stainless shrouds and
bottle screws, one suit of sails, and bilge keels.

I’m open to offers for the boat. I may need to put some new brake drums on the
trailer, so I would prefer to at least cover my costs, but my main wish is for
her to go to someone who has the time and facilities to bring her back into
order, as I don’t have the covered facilities necessary (it rains a lot in
Lancashire). Also, we are looking to move house, so she will have to go whatever
it takes.

Maurice Griffith design. Designed to sail the N Sea
and with its lifting centre board access the creeks of the E Coast too. Fine
example with teak joinery. Velour green upholstery in good order. Lifting centre
plate. V berth with infill double. Clever arrangement of doors enable the head
shower to be expanded with secure closure from saloon allowing ensuite. Large

max with centre board down 8 feet, Teak and holly striped cabin sole. Galley to
starboard when entering companionway, gimballed stove with oven, twin stainless
steel sinks. Pressurised hot and cold water. Chart table and quarter berth to

years ago and last week at Titchmarsh.

'Shelduck' comes complete and ready for
sailing except she needs an engine, her sails are in good condition, there is a

SOLD: Steel 36ft Spray replica!
'Silent Annie'

SILENT ANNIE – DESCRIPTION

Silent Annie is a 36ft x 12ft 4 inches x 4ft ketch
rigged Bruce Roberts Spray with a centre cockpit. She was professionally built
of steel in 1999. She is epoxy coated inside and outside, insulated with 2
inches of spray foam and finished inside with polished mahogany and white paint.
She is double-glazed and has solid fuel heating via a charcoal briquette burning
stove.

She has six berths. In the aft cabin there is a
double berth with storage underneath, wardrobe and an ensuite sea toilet and
wash-hand basin with storage underneath and shelving. In the main cabin there is
a pilot berth with storage underneath, a double berth with storage underneath, a
half-size chart table, galley with loads of storage, sink, a cooker/grill/2 ring
hob, fridge, an inlaid mahogany table with seating either side and storage
underneath (this drops down to form the double berth). Forward heads with a
second sea toilet, basin with storage underneath and shower. In the forward
cabin there is a single berth with storage underneath and a workshop with bench
and vice.

On deck everything but the anchor is operated from
the cockpit. She has roller reefing genoa, three slab main and mizzen sails, the
sails were made by Kemp Sails Ltd. The masts, booms, rigging, vang, spinnaker
pole and "Cyclops" passive radar reflector were all manufactured, supplied and
fitted by Z Spars UK. There is also a cruising chute/floater.

The engine is a very economical Ford 952E 87HP
Diesel. She has hydraulic steering and gearbox but with back-up emergency tiller
steering. She has a Simpson & Lawrence 1895 PAT windlass, two 9 inch 3 speed
Lewmar sheet winches and two 4 inch Lewmar halyard winches, Camlock cleats on

holding approximately 200 litres.

Other details include a prop knife, new sail covers
in 2010, new stainless steel bow spit in 2010, 40 metres of new anchor chain in
2010, new "glass" to spray hood in 2010, new teak gunwales fitted in 2010.

In 2009 the rigging was renewed and forestay. the
mast was re-roped and all cables replaced.

There are 3 sets of sails. One main and genoa are
completely brand new. There are 2 storm jibs and a life raft.

Currently apart from the areas of weak plywood
along the starboard aft deck and the starboard side in a strip approx. 9
inches and 10 feet long the rest of the wood is dry and strong.

The hull beneath the water line is in very good
condition and is still cascovered.

The ribs and stringers are all in good condition
except 12 inches of one stringer which is next to the weakest part of the
plywood on the starboard side.

The coachroof appears to be in reasonable
condition.

The woodwork inside the cabin is in good condition
also.

I have been sailing Pink Gin in Chichester Harbour
until 2 weeks ago when I became a bit too enthusiastic with a belt sander on
the starboard side as seen.

A local boat builder has looked over the area
needing repair and estimated 40hours of work needed.

It has a Volvo Penta 14hp 4stroke 2 cylinder petrol inboard
which starts and runs but begins to overheat after about 20mins. It was
reconditioned in 1990

She is currently lying in Emsworth on a slipway

A project boat.

The price is very negotiable for
the right buyer

SOLD: 'Pandora' 27ft Kylix Class

Kylix27

Pandora is a Kylix 27 built by Bure Marine, Great
Yarmouth in 1977. After a few years in Sweden she became Danish owned. I have
owned her since 1988, and am now looking for someone to take care for her in the
future.

Pandora is more or less original with no major
alterations. She

has been ashore in Copenhagen under
cover for 3½ years, is now re-launched, afloat in Sundkrogen, Copenhagen.

Cabin and woodwork on foredeck has been stripped
and repainted in 2015 with alkyd paint. The boat is generally sound without
structural defects, but the bright work needs treatment and the interior needs a
loving hand. The

Sabb engine is
a reconditioned unit installed in 2010. The sails are by Jeckells, main and jib
from 95. Mast and boom and rigging are in good order.
Both standing and running rigging has been renewed over the years.

A set of original drawings and the former owner’s
correspondence with M.G is included.

Sold for £
3.500

. The important issue for me is to find someone
who will take her over with the work it means. If you are interested, contact me
for more detailed
specifications
and additional photos.
Pleased to say a buyer has been found from Norway, a wooden boat
enthusiast...

SOLD: Houdini hatch.

Ideal Eventide fore hatch!

2ft square roughly.

Good condition, with ali stay
and 2 opening latches, all working, not distorted.

The Golden Hind 31 is a sturdy, characterful and
extremely versatile little ship: its shoal draft and bilge plates allow it to
nose up shallow creeks and take the ground easily, while its proven ability to
cross oceans makes it a truly unique craft.

Marschallin was sailed from the West Country to The
Mediterranean for 30 years, single-handed, by a gentleman who left her to his
family a few years ago. They were unable to maintain her and we bought her in a
sorry state in September 2015. We started extensive work on her to bring her
back to life and get her on the water again, launched her March 2016 and sailed
her from Falmouth to her new home mooring in Langstone Harbour.

She is a wonderful, seaworthy boat, roomy, comfortable
and easy to handle, who gets compliments wherever she goes and from all kinds of
boaters.

Surveyed 2013 (report is available for inspection);
work done post-survey:

This very well built boat has been in the current
ownership for 17 years during which time the retired engineer owner has
maintained her to a high standard. She is seaworthy and easy to handle with a
good turn of speed and is capable of trans ocean passages, but also able to
transit canals with her shallow draft, and dry out due to her bilge keels. The
boat is for sale with a huge inventory, and has also in recent years had a
number of upgrades.

'Polly Peacham' is being sold on behalf of
the late owners wife, by Keith's brother in law. Gordon. sadly she is not
in the best of condition and should be regarded as a project boat, but eminently
salvageable.

Sails have been stored under a canvas cover
for last 5 years, and probably weak. Foresails stored in boat cabin.
Main has been out on boom
for a few years under cover, will need washing at least.

Anchor, 2 burner gas stove, gas bottle,
oars, paddles, buoyancy aids etc. present
VHF radio and aerial working
Depth sounder believed working
Single cylinder Volvo Penta diesel engine fitted, was working until 2 years ago,
but I could not hand turn it with starting handle 2 days ago, presumably stiff
from lack of use. It has electric start and alternator, plus Penta control
panel. I did not have a key hence hand cranking was attempted.
Electric bilge pump and battery present, working and used regularly.
Solar battery charger present but seemed to have allowed water ingress to solar
panel.

Rot to decorative cabin sides, believed non structural
Rot to floor and seats at stern, will need replacement.
(Attractive clock and barometer are not included in sale of boat, unless added
at extra price.)
Keels and rudder NOT examined.
Flue for solid fuel heater, heater removed.heads type and condition awaits.

Believed
to be built about 1964 by a boatyard in Ipswich.

This boat has been taken to a nearby animal sanctuary to be
used as an exhibit in memory of the late owner the Reverent Keith.
As he was a frequent visitor and she was not going to be sold in a hurry a
fitting place for her to gently crumble away....

16ft GRP open sea boat. 'Seagull'

I have had a firm offer from Les of Erith, who
has visited and inspected her. He is to collect in January, but I will
leave the advert up, for the time being. John

Replica of 1880's Thames Waterman's Wherry

A GRP, 16ft, heavy (1/2 ton) open boat. She is
unsinkable but with 200lb of ballast internally for stability..
Buoyancy bags and foam filled bow tank. Under sole foam buoyancy. Painted
externally with two pot poly paint in very good condition. She has been used
as a demonstrator for my seagull engines. (As you can see by the self
adhesive sign writing! (It will come off !)

She has wooden mast and spars and a new set
of sails, tan spritsail rigged main and tan balanced lug mizzen, tan jib
on bowsprit with Wykeham Martin Gear.

Has a short bowsprit and a bumpkin! Mizzen
slots into fitted hoops and main mast fits in gate, easily lowered and raised.
Mast stores securely on boat for towing and supporting the fitted cover.
Tows behind family car.

She comes complete with a pair of 12ft long sweeps,
anchor and rope, (that stows neatly under the sole), a bailer and sponge
and fitted new Whale bilge pump. Set of 4 good fenders, all in green
socks, bronze, self stowing captive rowlocks. Fitted with transom drain in
bronze for draining whilst in storage.. Coir bow fender.

Pair of life jackets supplied.

Maintained by me the Seagull engineer! Last used for 5 hours on the round
Hayling Island Marathon, 27miles, in 2012. Before that, a day on the
Blackwater and a 4 hours cruise on the Blackwater and Chelmer Canal...

A real sea boat. Really looks the part. Slips
through the water easily, with just a few pulls on those sweeps she is
gliding effortlessly... This design is the result of eons of development
culminating in a perfect shaped boat for sailing or rowing and very suitable for
a Seagull. Remarkably stable hull and a safe boat in a chop!

Moulded from the last 1880's Thames Waterman's
Wherry to operate on the London river. (Now in the Science museum.).

Built in GRP in the early 1960's and used as one of
6 such boats, to train the lads of the King Edward the VII Nautical school at

Boat under offer
December 2016! Sold Jan 2017

SOLD:
New
Lewmar 6A sheet winch, plus new Barton winch handle.

Brand new
Lewmar 6A Ali winch, new in
box.

Suit small cruiser, Senior or similar, as sheet winch
or for use on mast or boom on larger craft for halyards or
reefing lines.

After 8 years of service, it’s time for
me to move “Cris Hawk” onto an owner who has the skills to ensure it stays up to
scratch. Professionally built of Iroka planks on Oak frames (Gibbs & Sons,
1973), I’ve been renewing kit & trying to keep abreast of the work. But this is
a hobby of life, and I think it’s time I bought something plastic. When I
bought the boat I replaced the standing rigging. Since then I have had all the
bearings in the saildrive renewed, the top end of the single cylinder air-cooled
diesel (by Ducati!) has been reconditioned, the water pump & two bilge pumps
have been replaced,
and three years ago I splurged out on a new mast by Collars, and new sails from
Downers (euro 2k each for those).

The boat can sleep 3, has a separate
heads, a mast that can be lowered single-handed (and raised single-handed if
your up for hard graft). Moored in Waterford city, currently sitting on a
trailer at my house – so easy inspection. I usually sail her single-handed
down-river, then between Dunmore East & Hook, but have enjoyed multiple trips to
Dungarvin & Kilmore Quay (also made it to Ballycotton once).

So why a project ?
Unfortunately, I hit a rock a few weeks back, and while no planking was cracked,
my garboards need to be re-caulked on both sides. Also the surveyor who looked
at it for me advised that it’s time the keel bolts were renewed. This sort of
work is beyond me (& my purse), so I am open to all reasonable offers.

If you’d like to see Cris Hawk sailing,
have a look on YouTube, where she can be seen off Hook Head.

I live in Waterford on the South Coast - about 1 hour from Rosslare
ferry-port.

I will record all reasonable offers, and pick the winner who I feel will do
best for Cris

SOLD:- GH 31
GRP project boat...'Charisma'

Golden Hind 31 GRP

'Charisma'.

This is a project opportunity for someone a little
younger than myself.

She is one of three ketch rigged Hinds that Terry
Erskine built.

I have had a lot of experience sailing these wonderful
boats and intended to rig her as a sloop; no need to move the mainmast chain
plates. I have the main mast but no boom.

Some idiot has painted the original Treadmaster with
gloss paint; obviously had a death wish, so that needs sorting out.

I have the pulpit and guardrail stanchions along with
the stainless wire and old standing rigging. There is no cooker or sink or
toilet and all the old plumbing has been taken out. She needs rewiring. All the
seacocks are good and free.

The old Lister engine has gone to the noisy diesel
graveyard and I have a brand new Beta 30 still on its pallet complete with oil
cooled gearbox, shaft coupling, mounting feet, galvanised mounting brackets to
fit onto the original mounts, and engine control panel. It also has the larger
alternator.

Charisma has crossed the Atlantic no less than six
times and has been as far east as the Black Sea. She deserves another chance to
show what she’s made of. I have photos of her with her first owners. Her sail
number is 198 and she was completed in September 1978.

She is currently in my yard near Stranraer SW
Scotland.

If you promise to take me sailing on her one day, you
can have her with the engine for

£3500.

SOLD: Golden Hind No 114, a repair project!

T

he pictures all
taken after salvage and clean up.

After being lovingly restored, painted and polished
she was launched and placed on a mooring at Tollesbury a year or so back, only
to sink a few days later on the mooring.

She spent a week on the bottom at the tidal mooring
and a week up on the hard after we moved her full of plastic drums. She was
towed in on a high tide and recovered back to the yard she had just left.

She lost a bilge keel. The bottom of the hull
needs repair and a new plate fitted. Or the old bilge plate could be
salvaged, it is still stuck on the bottom near the mooring at Tollesbury.

Has full Rig, sails, roller furling. Sails
not valeted since but in good condition when put back in bags.

She needs a considerable amount of work
to restore her to her former glory as she needs some planking repaired.

I have had her for 26 years and she has
been a comfortable, sea kindly sailing boat.

Sadly over the last 4 years, due to my
own health problems, she has needed attention that I have been unable to give
and this is not going to change.

I really would love her to go to a good
home where I know she will continue to give pleasure and be cared for. I
know she would be a really worthwhile project in the right hands.

She is ashore at Tollesbury.

I would like some monetary return for
her, but willing to consider any offers. I would be delighted to get
£4,000. this is negotiable .

This boat was in Tollesbury ashore at the Saltings
company, sadly the phone number no longer worked so advert removed.

Maybe For Sale: 30ft Waterwitch 'Jenny B'

The boat is a "Waterwitch" 30 foot, iroko on oak built by
Dempster Smith in 1978; I bought her about 5 years ago from him. In my
experience engineers always over engineer their own projects and she is no
exception.

She is moored in Lossiemouth Marina and sails Spey Bay and
the Moray Firth.

Four berth, 25hp Kubuto engine and dog house for weather.

Changing circumstances means that, unfortunately, she is
for sale,

Dempster, the builder, was an engineer and like most
engineers when working on their own projects totally over-engineer the product;
three pieces of timber when one would do; two radios, two auto-pilots,
brand new spare propeller as well as a complete tool kit etc. anti- fouled,
anode, new prop., new batteries and some lines.
The belt and braces builder also believed in spares; complete set,
new spare alternator, two auto pilots, spare sails, etc. She has a full
inventory.

She is due out shortly for a version of 'Coppercoat' (10 year anti-foul) which
Lossiemouth marina is sponsoring.

Maurice Griffiths Golden Hind 31 'Imshallah'

Built in 1968 by Hartwells of Plymouth, she is sheathed
ply construction, with long keel and bilge plates. Re-engined in 2001 with a
Yanmar 27hp 3 cylinder diesel. It is at around the same time as this she was
converted to a cutter rig. The current owners (a partnership of three) have
extensively renovated and improved her over the last ten years. We believe she
is probably in the best condition for a wooden Golden Hind 31 that you can find.

Orkney and Shetland and latterly the West Coast of Scotland from the current
berth on the Canal, leaving the boat ideally placed for access to both cruising
grounds.

one lock from Loch Ness, and in February 2016 passed the Annual inspection
required for permanent berthing on the Waterway.

Editors note, This is as close as anyone will get to buying
a brand new one today! If only Ernie could come up!

May Still be For Sale: Lone Gull I 'Beachcomber'

As she was a year back

cockpit before restoration.

..

And how she looked a few years before that...

A 28ft MG Classic! A

nyone
interested in taking her on? Needs a little work.

28ft on deck, 25ft on the
waterline, 10ft beam and 3ft draft. This one has no plate.

Mahogany on elm with oak
transom. Johnson Jago built her- started in 1939 but not launched till 1945. She
has no centre board, big bit of iron on the bottom with pig iron in bilge, all
nicely primed and stowed. The saloon was recently stripped to wood and primed
and painted nicely, although I threw out all the cushions!

She is ashore at Odessa yard in Newport on the Isle
of Wight and has been so for over a year.

I have done a lot of work on her over years, a new
main bulkhead was put in whilst the cockpit was being replaced, ribs have been
sistered, bulwarks scarfed and timber heads repaired, I had asked for a new
transom whilst I was away working (I am a commercial skipper- or was I should
say) but only 3/4 of it was replaced so needless to say, the other 1/4 now needs
doing.

Other works required include hatches- all need
attention, galley needs rebuilding- blank canvas at present, there's no
electrical system or instrument, mast is good but standing rigging was stolen at
the yard she was at before Odessa, so
let's say she is a project! The hull is solid though and she exudes character
and coziness nonetheless.

She has 2 suits of sails, one a bit shabby and one
virtually new, all spars and running rigging, bow sprit may need some attention
but I refurbished the mast a few summers ago and as we were going to put it back
up in the air discovered the standing rigging had "gone missing". I have a note
of lengths and diagrams of how to.

She has original compass, navigation lights, oil
lamps, Bukh 20hp inboard, engine spars inc internal anode, new pipe work around
engine and tanks, a great windless (can't remember the make) pansy charcoal
stove, there's lots of paperwork and history with magazine articles etc. um what
else can I write? She's a lovely little yacht!

Surveyors Comments in 2014

These are well built vessels originally and
this one in particular would appear to have been built by somebody who knew
what they were doing. She appears to have been well looked after.
This vessel is quite suitable for sailing in waters for which she was
designed.

Owners Comments

My wife and now 10yr old daughter and I have
had the pleasure of sailing Talland since summer of 2014. We have had
some good adventures sailing around the Norfolk coast and some scary ones.
Talland can take some rough weather and we have had fun sailing her.
She has been craned out in the winter and kept well maintained as did the
previous owner. She is good to go for many years. We are selling
as we are looking to sail further afield and longer distances so buying a
new boat. Talland has been a great first time sailing vessel and our
learning curve.

It is with great regret that we are selling Ivory Gull, but
circumstances have changed and James will be living much further away.

Ivory Gull is a 1991 Lone Gull 2, 28ft. twin mast schooner, with GRP hull and
the most amazing internal fitting out in Maple. In the last four years a lot of
refurbishment has been carried out, including new sails, battens and covers, all
running rigging and much of the electrics.

The boat has been rigged with simplicity in mind to give the
minimum amount of ropes (all led back to the cockpit). on the davits there is
normally a rigid dinghy, which is presently stored elsewhere (to keep the Marina
costs down). there is a sea toilet, paraffin cooker and a very efficient
diesel heater.

There is one double berth and two singles and a fixed table in the centre of
the main cabin.

We are looking for

about £27,000 Sold for substantially less!!!

A very
full inventory, but we would really prefer the boat to go to a real junk rig
enthusiast (or someone who will potentially be one).

We understand this boat may be sold! Will the new owner
step forward!! It was seen recently on 'Saving Lives at Sea'!!!! Got
into trouble and was rescued... New owners??? No, that was Clive and
James, got into trouble after the Heritage boats rally in 2017... James
injured. All ended OK!

SOLD: 'Jorrocks II'

Jorrocks II is sadly for sale for family reasons. I
have owned her for 20 years and during that time she has undergone an extensive
refit, while retaining her original layout. She is one of only two yachts built
to this atypical Maurice Griffiths design; the first one was his own (Wild Lone
II, now Wild Goose, launched in 1935) who was so admired by a former High
Sheriff of Essex that he bought a set of her plans and commissioned the Leslie
Harris yard at Burnham to build him a similar yacht. That yacht was Jorrocks II;
she was completed in 1936 and was the last to be built at the Harris yard. She
is truly a classic.

Jorrocks’ overall length is 35’7", beam 9’3" and
draft 4’7". She is a Bermudan cutter, her hull planked in pitch pine below the
waterline and mainly mahogany above. The mast is spruce (stripped back,
refinished and currently in storage, as she is laid up unrigged in a mud berth
on Faversham Creek) and is keel stepped. Her boom is also spruce, the spinnaker
pole is Douglas fir and the bowsprit is pine. Internally, she has teak joinery
and oak beams. The tiller is of varnished teak as is the cockpit (stripped and
re-varnished this summer). There are 2 anchors; a main 35lb CQR and a 15lb CQR.
She comes with a wooden dinghy that stows on the coach roof between the doghouse
and the mast.

The accommodation from aft consists of a lazarette
accessed via a hatch in the deck which contains a fuel tank to starboard. The
cockpit has seats port and starboard, with a hand bilge pump situated under the
port seat. The companionway is amidships with the engine below it. There is a
quarter berth to starboard and storage to port.

The saloon contains a settee berth each side with
fresh water tanks below, and storage behind and forward. There is an enamelled
Faversham solid fuel stove, a teak table

, and the sole
throughout is of polished teak planking. A door leads through to the central
galley which has a sink and a gimballed paraffin Taylor stove with two burners,
grill and oven to starboard. To port there’s a door into the heads with a large
basin and loo (mostly Baby Blake, but with a modern Armitage Shanks pan because
the original one cracked when a bowl full of crockery fell in it!) There are
doors to the fo’c’sle which contains two more berths plus an infill so that a
large double berth can be created. There is stowage below the berths, and
forward of the berth there is storage and chain stowage.

Ten bronze ports are fitted in the teak coamings,
and prismatic deck lights in the deck and cabin top. The deck itself is of thick
tongue and groove pine, covered with marine plywood, sheathed with woven rovings
and epoxy resin, and painted cream. The engine is a three cylinder Volvo Penta
28hp which has been maintained and regularly started and run.

Jorrocks has various sails of various ages, none
very modern, including the mainsail, working and storm jibs, and staysail; she
still has her original Egyptian cotton spinnaker which is very effective in
light airs. As far as her sailing performance is concerned, she is very well
balanced, not at all tender, and speaking as a small person of no great weight I
can only say that I’ve never found helming her difficult in any weather. I have
sailed her up the East Coast, down to Southampton and most frequently across the
Channel to France, Belgium and Holland.

The close-up photographs of Jorrocks’ interior and
of the cockpit etc are contemporary (mid-September 2014) and the rest were taken
a few years ago (the black and white one was taken during the Swale Match).
There are more photos that illustrate an article I wrote about her that was
published in Classic Boat magazine, should anyone have access to the June 1997
edition.

I have all the invoices and records of the work
carried out during my ownership.

Her asking price is

£35,000. XXXX drop the price to £27,500 but would be happy to discuss price
with anyone genuinely interested.

SOLD: Mainsail.

White mainsail with batten
pockets, good condition. £25.00 ono.

Ex Hurley Felicity 20 ply sailing
cruiser, sadly no more. Stored for last 20 years in barn, time to move it
on.

The boat would be restorable by a dedicated and talented person.
However, in the real world people don't have the time to commit. So the only
thing to do is to offer bits to current owners who might be interested in buying
spares. The main parts could be interesting to current owners.
